LN11 - 8 - Chain Lightning

“Then you’re letting them win, brother,” Kopaka said, forcing his voice to be calm. “You’re admitting you are no better than they are.”

Slowly, reluctantly, Takanuva forced his violent emotions down. Seeing an opening, Bitil unleashed chain lightning, striking both Toa. By the time they recovered and looked around, Bitil and Chirox were gone.

“This makes no sense,” said Kopaka. “He had us right where he wanted us. Even with Chirox wounded, why flee?”

“Because,” answered Takanuva. “They know the Toa Nuva are destined to awaken Mata Nui – but they don’t know which of you are needed to do it. Kill the wrong one and their whole Plan goes out like a light.”

“Their Plan depends on us?” asked Kopaka, in disbelief.
